Paul Robinson named Sandia President and Director

John Crawford returns to Albuquerque as Labs' Deputy Director

He's been a physicist, a research manager, a
weapons program head at a national laboratory
(Los Alamos), an industrial scientist, an ambas¬
sador and arms negotiator, and a Sandia vice
president.

Now C. Paul Robinson, currently Sandia's
Vice President for Laboratory Development,
will become Sandia's eleventh President and
Laboratory Director, succeeding A1 Narath on
Aug. 15.

The Board of Directors of Sandia Corpora¬
tion and the Department of Energy have
approved Paul's appointment as President of
Sandia Corporation and Director of Sandia
National Laboratories.

"I couldn't be more pleased," Paul told the
Lab News. "There is no question in my mind that
what A1 is passing to me is the world's number
one laboratory. I am delighted. And I'm chal¬
lenged to try to see how we can make it better."

The board also approved the appointment
of John Crawford, Vice President of Sandia's
California Laboratory Div. 8000 and a 33-year
Sandia veteran, as Executive Vice President and
Laboratory Deputy Director.

In a Lab News interview the day of his con¬
firmation by the Sandia Corporation board,

Paul said he believes in participatory decision¬
making, teamwork, program building, focused
strategic planning, a continuing emphasis on
quality, breaking down internal bureaucratic
barriers, and priority to what's good for Sandia
and the nation overall.

And he praised A1 Narath for his outstand¬
ing leadership and his reputation in Washing¬
ton, both of which have strengthened Sandia in
recent years. "A1 has certainly set an exemplary
style of interaction in Washington," he said.
"There is no question that he is the most
respected lab director. We will still get the bene¬
fit of Al's tremendous influence in Washington,

PAUL ROBINSON

in addition to whatever I can bring to the job."

He praised Sandia's outstanding technical
work and said he hopes to maintain close
familiarity with it. "Involvement with the tech¬
nical work is the fun part," he said. "It is

thrilling to see the talent we've got and the
technical creativity we can unleash."

As for the federal funding outlook for San¬
dia, he said planning looks good for fiscal year
1996, but Administration and Congressional
actions "cast a long shadow over FY97." He
said he also expects that FY97 will be strongly
affected in a variety of ways by the 1996 fall
elections. Nevertheless, he said, Sandia is a
well-positioned, respected laboratory whose
strengths will serve it well for the future.

As soon as he was appointed acting direc¬
tor several weeks ago, Paul says he began
talking a lot with Sandia's vice presidents,
seeking their views on a variety of issues.
"I've been talking to the folks about what is
right and what is wrong with Sandia," he
said. "My intention is that in fixing what's
wrong, we must not mess up what's right."

Appointments to fill the slots opened by
Paul and John's upward moves will be filled
after further consultation with the VPs and
others, he said. "We need to take this opportu¬
nity to be sure the jobs are correctly configured
before deciding who should fill them."

He said he expects every VP position to be
a program-building role. "Our value as leaders
is by taking and knitting together the technical
wizards who make up this place to create bigger

As Al Narath prepares to leave, he sees a strong
Sandia, and more of a system of national labs

Opportunities anticipated in heading new Lockheed Martin sector in Albuquerque

By Ken Frazier

Lab News Acting Editor

Change confronts Sandians again. This
time it's the man at the helm. And his next-in¬
command.

But as Sandians pondered the effects of the
surprise announcement that President Al
Narath would leave Sandia to head a new Lock¬
heed Martin corporate sector in Albuquerque
(Lab News, July 21), Al assured them last week
that he feels Sandia's future remains strong and
his involvement with it will continue.

"I leave with very warm feelings for Sandia
and good feelings about its future," he said.

Al is Sandia's first "home-grown" presi¬
dent. He joined Sandia in 1959 and came up
through the research-management ranks,
spending his entire career here except for the
period 1984-1989 when he was Vice President
for Government Systems at AT&T Bell Labora¬
tories. He came back in 1989 as President of

Sandia Corporation and Director of Sandia
National Labs.

Al held three employee town meetings at
Sandia/New Mexico July 25 and 26 and two
more in California July 27 to give his firsthand
account of his deci¬
sion to become
President of Lock¬
heed Martin's new
Albuquerque-based
Energy and Envi¬
ronment Sector,
effective Aug. 15,
and describe how
he sees his new
responsibilities.
Executive VP Jim
Tegnelia will also be moving to the sector as
vice president for business development.

At each session Al gave an informal pre¬
sentation, then answered oral and written
questions.

Al hadn't expected to be talking to employ¬
ees as what he jokingly referred to as a "lame
duck." He noted that in answer to questions at
his most recent set of town meetings he had
said that he would not be asked to lead an
energy business sector if one were created.

"At the time, I had not the foggiest notion
that this would come to pass," Al said. He said
he had expected to finish out his career at San¬
dia, and would have been happy and content
to do so.

'Offer I couldn't refuse'

"Then about three weeks ago," Al said, "I
got a call from Bethesda offering me the job of
heading a new sector based in Albuquerque."
(Lockheed Martin's corporate headquarters are
in Bethesda, Md., outside Washington.) The
sector will oversee Lockheed Martin's manage¬
ment of three DOE national labs (Sandia, Oak
Ridge, and Idaho National Engineering Lab)

This&That

Congratulations. Paul and John - Unless you’re just coining out of
a coma, you heard the rumors last week that Paul Robinson (VP-4000)
would be the new Sandia Labs director and John Crawford (VP-8000) would
be the new deputy director. Now we can say it with certainty. Both
appointments were approved by the Sandia Corporation Board of Directors
last Friday, and by the Department of Energy Wednesday (see story on
page one). Their acting replacements and several other appointments
should be announced soon, but Paul told the Lab News last week he wants
to involve other Sandians in the selection process for his and John’s
permanent replacements. Stay tuned.

Bi g Business for Big A1 and Co. - As previously announced, current
Sandia Director A1 Narath and Deputy Director Jim Tegnelia are leaving
in about 10 days to manage Lockheed Martin’s new Energy and Environment
Sector. A1 will be sector president and Jim will be vice president for
business development.

A1 discussed the new sector with Sandia employees last week and
explained how it will relate to the Labs and other facilities under
sector management (see page one). He also pointed out that Lockheed
Martin now manages between five and six billion dollars of DOE’s money,
representing nearly one-third of the current DOE budget. He emphasized
that new Sandia Labs Director Paul Robinson will have a high degree of
autonomy and that it’s important that the relationship between DOE and
the national laboratory directors remain strong and direct. Al’s main
job as sector president, he explained, will be to encourage operational
efficiencies at all sector facilities and to pursue appropriate new
business opportunities.

Not on my foot, please! - Will the Sandian who started using the
term “desk drop* to mean an internal mailing please confess? I propose
the following punishment: You must stand out in front of Bldg. 800 during
the lunch period every day next week and say to all who pass by: “I’m an
empowered buzzword champion." The exact buzzwords change, but I think
there is some quota of them that must be in use at Sandia at all times.

Hi gh-flying heritag e - When Lockheed and Martin Marietta merged in
March, we Sandians doubled our recently “inherited heritage." Lockheed has
an interesting history, and I found a fascinating book that tells much of
the story of Lockheed’s “Skunk Works,” the famous Burbank, Calif., aero¬
space facility that developed the U-2 and Blackbird (world’s fastest
airplane) spy planes, stealth technology, and much more. The facility was
formerly known officially as Lockheed’s Advanced Development Projects, but
Lockheed Martin recently officially renamed it “Skunk Works.”

If such things interest you, I recommend the book. The title is
simply. Skunk Works, A Personal Memoir of My Years at Lockheed, by Ben
R. Rich and Leo Janos (Little, Brown and Company, 1994). The Sandia
Library has several copies (I still have one checked out), and I’ve seen
it in Albuquerque bookstores. The book tells how the Skunk Works first
got its colorful name, but I’ll save that story for another time, after
those of you who want to read about it in the book have the chance.

ER cleanup project now
yean ahead of schedule

Accelerated process breaks barriers

By Tammy Locke

Lab News Staff

Just last summer, members of Sandia's Envi¬
ronmental Restoration Project (in Depts. 7581,
7582, 7584, and 7585) were seeking permission
from the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) to begin hazardous waste site cleanup,
years ahead of schedule ( Lab News, June 10,

1994). Sandia received EPA permission and the
cleanup work began last October. Sandia and
DOE agreed to a goal of cleaning up 19 sites
within a year.

Since that time, 34 Sandia sites, contami¬
nated with low-level radioactive materials and
chemical waste, have been successfully cleaned
up, far exceeding expectations.

How did they do it?

Sandia proposed that a "special condition"
be incorporated into its cleanup permit, issued
in 1993 from the EPA, which encouraged Sandia
to perform voluntary cleanups.

"If the standard assessment and cleanup
process had been followed, it would have
involved a number of [additional] steps, includ¬
ing writing reports to get approval to go on to
the next step," says Warren Cox, Manager of
Environmental Restoration Project Dept. 7581.
"We condensed the process, eliminating a lot of
assessing, studying, and reporting, which
allowed us to focus on the real objective — clean¬
ing and confirming the cleaning." This voluntary
process enabled Sandia to use environmental
remediation funds more effectively.

Another reason the rapid environmental
cleanup was possible is that as the project pro¬
gressed, "we increased our efficiency, learned to
more effectively do cleanups," Warren says.

Also, Sandia's waste operations people con¬
tributed to the evaluation and modification of
waste-handling systems not originally designed
for the volumes of waste generated by environ¬
mental cleanup activities.

Warren commends the exceptional partner¬
ing of the DOE Kirtland Area Office and DOE
Albuquerque for their "significant help in accel¬
erating cleanups by removing institutional and
administrative barriers."

Sandia's environmental restoration team
contracted RUST-Geotech, a Colorado-based
waste-removal company, to survey and clean up
some of Sandia's radioactively contaminated
areas. RUST-Geotech was selected, says Warren,
because of its expertise in cleaning up depleted-
uranium contaminants. About 90 percent of
these contaminants have been removed from 29
Sandia sites so far.

What's next?

Estimates for money and time needed to com¬
plete the Environmental Restoration Project are
being reassessed right now. "These updates are
being based on the progress made so far. We are
projecting cost reductions on the total project,"
says Warren.

The cost to clean up 29 sites contaminated
with depleted-uranium has been $1.2 million
(excluding the initial survey costs).

Although the time needed to complete the
project is being assessed, Warren says the restora¬
tion should be completed before 2006, years
before the original estimate. But success depends
^ on continued funding. If proposed Congres-
f sional legislation to slash funds for environ¬
mental cleanup is passed, Warren says, "it
could significantly slow down progress."

The environmental restoration team esti¬
mates that fewer than 50 sites at Sandia still
require some level of cleanup, including land¬
fills, surface contamination sites, and septic
systems.

End of era: Last Poseidon warheads disassembled

Submarine nuclear warhead system was designed and engineered in Livermore

The last warheads for the US Navy Posei¬
don missile system have been dismantled at
the Pantex Plant in Amarillo, Texas.

This is the first weapons system designed
and engineered in Livermore to be completely
dismantled in what system engineer Mike Foley
of Dismantlement Engineering Dept. 5362 calls

the "modem era" of dismantlement. Disman¬
tlement today requires frequent reviews and
evaluations by DOE and the design agencies.

"There are many regulations that were not
present when the weapons were built," Mike
says, "to ensure process safety and ensure that
parts are disposed in the correct waste streams.

Recycling is done
where possible, but
this requires exten¬
sive characteriza¬
tion of the individ¬
ual weapon
components."

Material charac¬
terization informa¬
tion was entered
into the Stockpile
Dismantlement
Database as part of
this quality assur¬
ance and quality
control process.
Quality reviews
were conducted
yearly from 1992
through 1994.

Disassembly of
the Poseidon system
was begun in Octo¬
ber 1988 and com¬
pleted after a small
ceremony on May
22, 1995. A team
celebration was also
held in June for
Pantex employees

More than one B-29 Superfortress named Ernie Pyle?

Sandia/Califomia retiree Ken Finders, who
flew B-29 missions out of Tinian SO years ago, last
week provided this personal note and photo:

While serving as a flight instructor at
Merced Army Air Force base in 1944,1 was
"volunteered" to be a flight engineer on the
new B-29 bomber.

While taking my final training as a crew
member at Albuquerque in the summer of
1945,1 remember hearing about a B-29 being
built at the Wichita plant. It was paid for by
the employees through the purchase of War
Bonds. They named it "the Ernie Pyle," as a
tribute to the beloved war correspondent
from Albuquerque, who had been killed just
a short time before on a small island near
Okinawa.

In July 1945, we flew our brand new B-29
Superfortress to the island of Tinian, and used
the same airfield as the "Enola Gay."

My very first bombing mission over Japan
was in the B-29 named "the Ernie Pyle." I won¬
dered at the time how it arrived there so
quickly, but soon forgot about it.

I got a snapshot of this plane immediately,
and a while later got a picture of what I
thought was the same plane from a stateside
magazine article.

In 1977, Les Rowe, former Sandia supervi¬
sor, was writing the final stages of his book
concerning the mating of the two atomic
bombs to the bomb bays of the B-29 aircraft.

He borrowed my pictures to use in his book.
Upon returning the pictures, he mentioned
that the two pictures of "the Ernie Pyle" that I
had loaned him appeared very slightly differ¬
ent. The words "the Ernie Pyle" on one picture
appears horizontal, and on the other they seem

to slope up a bit from left to right.

I have since wondered if maybe there were
two B-29s with the same name. It really doesn't
make any difference, except for my own curios¬
ity. What do you think?

This month commemorates the 50th
anniversary of the war's end.

— Ken Finders

Editor's follow-up: We decided to ask Sandia
retiree Randy Maydew about this. Randy, author
of the articles in our July 21 issue about two San-
dians who worked with the Fat Man and Little
Boy atomic bombs, flew B-29s at the same time
as Ken Finders and is author of the new booklet

History of the B-29 Superfortress, published in
July by the National Atomic Museum Foundation.
He in turn checked with Albuquerque artist Hal
Olsen, who did much of the nose art for World
War II B-29s (although not for "the Ernie Pyle").
Olsen is 99 percent certain there was only one
B-29 named Ernie Pyle; it was aircraft number
44-70118. The two photos do show some distinct
differences in the nose art, so Randy thinks the
original nose art was modified or repainted
entirely. To complicate matters further, Randy
brought in a book showing a color photo of a B-29
on Tinian with the name "Ernie Pyle's Milk-
wagon" and totally different nose art. That
appears to be a different aircraft entirely.

named after the beloved war correspondent
Ernie Pyle, the one at left taken by Ken Finders
on Tinian, the one below from a magazine.

programs and larger contributions. Large, mul¬
tidisciplinary efforts differentiate us from oth¬
ers in university and industry."

Paul emphasized that in its program-
building tasks Sandia must be more selective
and concentrate on developing programs that
fit well with its strategic goals and thrusts.

Paul said he looks forward to working with
John Crawford as his deputy director. "I
worked with him closely when I ran the
weapons program at Los Alamos," he says. "So
I have known him for at least 15 years." Paul
said John is an experienced executive and "I'm
pleased with the way he treats people."

John will be returning to New Mexico after
an eight-year stint as
Vice President and
Manager of Sandia's
California laboratory.

"I'm looking
forward to the new
responsibilities, but
it's going to be hard
to leave California,"
John told the Lab
News. "We like it
here."

John joined Sandia in 1962 as a Member of
Technical Staff after getting his doctorate in
physics from Kansas State University. He
became a supervisor in 1967, Manager of the
Neutron Generator Development Department
in 1971, and Director of Electrochemical Com¬
ponents and Measurement Systems in 1977.

In 1984, he became Director of Weapon
Development, taking on responsibility for all
weapon system development activities in
New Mexico. He assumed his present posi¬
tion in California in 1987. In 1993 he added
more responsibility, becoming Corporate
Executive for Transportation Programs. Last

November he was elected chairman of the
Clean Car Coordinating Committee, a group
made up of representatives from 11 national
laboratories that coordinates DOE's work in
support of the Partnership for a New Genera-

It somehow seems fitting that Paul
Robinson was born on the day that Presi¬
dent Franklin Roosevelt created the Manhat¬
tan Project — Oct. 9, 1941. Most of his
career has revolved around, in some way,
the legacy of nuclear weapons.

As soon as he got his doctorate in
physics from Florida State University in
1967, he joined Los Alamos National Labo¬
ratory. He worked there for the next 18
years, initially as a physicist in nuclear test¬
ing, then as a member of the advanced con¬
cepts group. He started Los Alamos' efforts
in laser spectroscopy, explosives-driven
lasers, laser-induced chemistry, and isotope
separation.

Paul eventually became head of Los
Alamos's defense programs. He had respon¬
sibility for nuclear weapons research and
development, stockpile maintenance, strate¬
gic defense initiatives, inertial fusion,
nuclear materials and safeguards, advanced
conventional weapons, and arms control
and verification work.

He left Los Alamos in 1985 and spent sev¬
eral years as Senior Vice President and Princi¬
pal Scientist of Ebasco Services, Inc., a major
engineering and construction firm, headquar¬
tered in New York, that had large contracts in
nuclear power, advanced power systems, and
support for large research projects.

Then began a career as a treaty negotia¬
tor. Ronald Reagan appointed him ambas¬
sador and chief negotiator and head of the
US Delegation to the Nuclear Testing Talks

tion of Vehicles.

The Lab News plans to publish additional
comments from the interview with Paul Robin¬
son in a future issue.

between the US and the Soviet Union in
Geneva, and he was subsequently reap¬
pointed by George Bush. The negotiations
produced two major agreements: protocols
to the Threshold Test Ban Treaty and the
Peaceful Nuclear Explosions Treaty. The
agreements were signed June 1,1990, and
ratified by the Senate.

His coming to Sandia coincided with
the end of the Cold War. "The two treaties I
negotiated went into force, and the Soviets
decided to declare Chapter 11," Paul laughs.

In 1990 Sandia President A1 Narath and
VP Roger Hagengruber (5000) brought Paul
to Sandia. Paul served first as Director of
Systems Analysis and in August 1991 was
named Vice President for Laboratory Devel¬
opment. He's been in that position ever
since, having responsibility for strategic
and operation planning, systems studies,
information architectures, and new pro¬
gram initiatives. He led Sandia's programs
in industrial partnerships and technology
transfer. Last year he led Sandia's efforts on
behalf of the Galvin Task Force, which
examined alternative futures for the DOE
national labs.

He says that position, in which he had
an opportunity to take an overall view of
Sandia, helped prepare him for heading the
Labs.

"I'm looking forward to it," he says of
his new responsibilities. He's always looked
forward, he says, and he feels good about
Sandia. "The future is what you make of it."

and other energy-related operations, as well as
pursue business opportunities in environmen¬
tal remediation nationwide.

He says it was "an offer I couldn't refuse.
And I didn't."

The sector will be housed in the new Lock¬
heed Martin building at University and Sta¬
dium Blvds. in Albuquerque. One of the sec¬

tor's entities, Technology Ventures Corp., is
already there.

A1 says there are two reasons he feels at rel¬
ative peace about departing Sandia.

The first is that he feels Sandia will be left
in very good hands. VP for Laboratory Devel¬
opment C. Paul Robinson was named acting
director several weeks ago, then last Friday
was appointed Director by the Sandia Corpo¬
ration board.

Second, A1 said, "I will still be very close,
not just geographically, but in the responsibili¬
ties of my new job." He said Sandia Corpora¬

tion (the Lockheed Martin entity that is its
interface with Sandia) will be among the largest
of his responsibilities.

"I have always been positive about San¬
dia," A1 said, "and I have seen nothing to
change my mind about that. It would have
been exciting to stay. Sandia, being what it is,
has maintained the right course, and I have
every reason to believe that it will do so in
the future."

Sector invisible to most Sandians

How does A1 see creation of the new sector
affecting Sandia? The relationship will be a
close one, he said. Nevertheless, he added, "For
most Sandians, it will be totally invisible. San¬
dia has always been self-sufficient and self-
motivated. I don't see that changing." He said
the degree of autonomy the Sandia director has
will not change.

Creation of a new Lockheed Martin sector
devoted to the giant corporation's (it had $23
billion in sales in 1994) DOE management
responsibilities was inevitable, A1 said. Nearly
one third of every dollar that DOE spends is
associated in some way with Lockheed Martin
management and oversight, he said.

The fees these efforts bring to Lockheed
Martin are a relatively small fraction of the
company's income, but the magnitude of the
laboratory budgets involved — more than $5
billion in DOE funds — is a public trust that
requires close corporate attention.

Furthermore, Lockheed Martin would like
to increase its DOE business even further, A1
said. This could involve both seeking any

future management and operations opportuni¬
ties that might arise and aggressively pursuing
environmental remediation business at DOE
sites as well as at private sites.

The environmental remediation business
the new sector will pursue is an enormous busi¬
ness opportunity, Al said. Large and ever-grow¬
ing fractions of US industries' revenues are now
going into environmental cleanup. "Opportu¬
nity exists to apply technologies to allow costs
to businesses to decrease."

Avoiding conflicts of interest

A1 himself raised the issue of potential con¬
flict of interest. He noted that the new sector
will be both operating DOE national labs in the
public interest and pursuing for-profit business
opportunities, some of which relate to DOE's
requirements. "I take the [national lab] stew¬
ardship responsibilities very seriously," said Al.
"I'm going to do everything possible to avoid
conflict between that stewardship and our
environmental cleanup business. We're going
to build sufficiently tail and wide walls to pre¬
vent any conflict from happening."

Al said this issue has been discussed with
both DOE and Lockheed Martin corporate
leadership, and he has a commitment that if
DOE sees any conflicts developing, the con¬
flicting pieces of business will be moved to
another part of the company.

SECTOR STRUCTURE — Lockheed Martin Corp.'s newly created, Albuquerque-based Energy and Environment
Sector, which Al Narath will head, is the company's fifth business sector (the other four are aeronautics, electron¬
ics, space & strategic missiles, and information & technology services). The corporate entities that operate Sandia,
Oak Ridge, and Idaho national laboratories for DOE are included in the new sector, plus the Albuquerque-based
Technology Ventures Corp. and groups that carry out Lockheed Martin's environmental remediation businesses.

dent Al Narath made in answer to questions at his
July 25-26 employee town meetings:

On the possibility of cuts in staff and
budget at Sandia:

Al pointed to DOE Secretary Hazel
O'Leary's commitment that over the next five
years, the DOE national labs' budgets will be
reduced by $1.4 billion and their staffs
reduced by 6,000. He said he expects signifi¬
cant budget cuts in fiscal year 1996. He said
the real issue is how best to manage any bud¬
get reductions in FY96 and 97. His best esti¬
mates are still that over a two-year period the
number of jobs at Sandia will be reduced by
about a thousand. "I hope it is smaller. I
worry that it'll be bigger."

As for concerns about Lockheed Martin
consolidating national labs operations as the
company has done with its business opera¬
tions, Al emphasized strongly that DOE owns
the assets of the national labs and that DOE
funds their operations. Any reductions would
be a consequence of drops in DOE budgets,

not of actions by Lockheed Martin. And, said
Al, "I don't have any interest in consolidation
for the sake of consolidation."

On coordination and cooperation
among the national labs:

Al said in his new role he will be pushing
for more coordination and cooperation
among the national labs. "It's going to be
exciting to create a reality out of this vision to
create a system of laboratories that I've talked
about for some time," he said. DOE and the
public would benefit by achieving greater
coordination and efficiencies. He also said he
hopes to be able to show DOE "demonstrable
synergies" and "value added" in having a sin¬
gle corporation managing a number of its
facilities and a large and, he hopes, growing
share of DOE environmental remediation
activities.

Who else will be going with him to
Lockheed Martin's Energy and Environ¬
ment Sector?

In addition to Jim Tegnelia, Al said Jerry
Langheim, Director of Public Relations and

Communications Center 12600 at Sandia,
will be leaving to become the sector's vice
president for communications. Other posi¬
tions to be filled include a general counsel
and vice presidents for operations, technol¬
ogy, and finance. Al said it is important that
the sector not be overloaded with Sandians
and so most of these positions are expected to
be filled from other locations.

How much consultation about the
change was there with DOE and Congress?

Al said he personally talked with Secretary
of Energy Hazel O'Leary, every other top DOE
headquarters official involved with Sandia, and
US Senators Pete Domenid and Jeff Bingaman
and US Rep. Steve Schiff. He said Lockheed
Martin Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Dan Tellep and President Norm Augustine also
each talked personally with each of these offi¬
cials. "The amount of interaction that has
taken place has really been quite extensive," Al
said. DOE was closely involved all along, he
said. "Lockheed Martin values DOE as a very
important customer."

Last Poseidon

(Continued from page 3)

mer assembly plant in Burlington, Iowa. Fabri¬
cation ended in June 1975.

Up to 14 warheads per missile

The W68 underwent one of the most
extensive series of nuclear development tests in
the history of the US weapons program, and
has seen several retrofits through an active,
nonstop 25-year history.

The W68 was carried on the Navy's Posei¬
don SSBN (Ship-Submersible-Ballistic-
Nuclear) submarines. Each missile could be
loaded with up to 14 independently targeted
warheads. Each missile was 34 feet long,
weighed 65,000 pounds and had a range of

nearly 3,000 miles.

The Poseidon missile nearly doubled the
volume of its predecessor, Polaris, and had one
of the largest and most capable reentry bodies
to have flown. The missile made its first flight
Aug. 16, 1968, and was fired under water from
SSBN 627 James Madison on Aug. 3, 1970. It
was deployed March 31,1971.

The system served as part of the strategic
nuclear deterrent designed to provide a "sec¬
ond strike" capability if stationary sites were
destroyed. Among weapons systems, the
Poseidon was noteworthy for the size and
scope of its production program, according
to Mel.

Other systems soon dismantled, too

Two other California systems, the W70
and W71, will also soon be completely dis¬
mantled. The W70 was the payload for the US

Army's Lance rocket. Development began in
Livermore in November 1966. It continued
until January 1968 and resumed in April 1969.
Production engineering of the W70 began in
December 1970. The first W70 units appeared
in June 1973.

The W71 was the warhead of the US
Army's Safeguard/Spartan Anti-Ballistic Missile
system. Development engineering began at
Livermore in March 1968, and production
engineering started in January 1972. The first
W71 production units appeared in July 1974.
Spartan silos at Grand Forks Air Force Base in
North Dakota were installed near the Minute-
man Intercontinental Ballistic Missile wing.
This Safeguard installation was deactivated by
Congress on Oct. 2,1975.

Dismantlement of a New Mexico system,
the B57, was completed earlier this year under
the existing quality evaluation process.

Transition time in Labs' diversity program

Line to work with team to create 'environment of inclusion'

By Mary Hatheway __

Lab News Intern

A single parent struggles to run a house¬
hold and maintain a full-time job. Members of
a design team continuously ignore a team
member whose ideas are unpopular. An older
employee perceives favoritism toward younger
employees in an office. What do they have in
common? All of these employees have unique
differences that they bring with them to the
workplace, and the way they perform their jobs
is dependent on how these differences are
accepted and managed.

That's where Workforce Diversity comes in.
Since its formation in 1993, the Corporate
Diversity initiative at Sandia has been working

to address issues in the workplace that prevent
employees and teams from being as effective
and high-performing as they could be.

Diversity Planning Manager Berweida
Learson (3612) says the diversity program is
currently in a period of transition in which
many of the organization's functions are being
transferred to the Labs' divisions.

"When the diversity effort was initiated two
and a half years ago, the intent was to eventu¬
ally transfer diversity implementation responsi¬
bilities from the center to the line," she says.
"We've finally entered that transition stage."

The Human Resources Large Staff confer¬
ence, held in March and attended by Sandia's
upper management and 100 Diversity Champi¬
ons, was a major first step toward that transi-

tion (see "Conference opens eyes, changes atti¬
tudes"). At the conference, Berweida says, sev¬
eral employees raised issues now being worked
on by the team and Sandia employees. The
need for on-site day-care facilities and the per¬
ceived "classism" between members of the labo¬
ratory staff (MLS) and members of the technical
staff (MTS) were some of the issues raised.

'Random acts of inclusion'

"As a result, a Child Care Task Force has
been set up to explore the need for an on-site
child care facility," Berweida says. "The Human
Resources teams in charge of the MTS and MLS
job restructuring are addressing the classism
issue. And some of the directors and VPs who
attended the conference are helping their orga¬
nizations to pull
ahead in their diver¬
sity implementation
efforts. So we've
made substantial
progress toward our
transition goals."

Several initia¬
tives have been
started as part of the
Labs-wide diversity
effort. One division,
for example, is cur¬
rently working on a
program for recog¬
nizing and reward¬
ing individuals who
practice "random
acts of inclusion."
Another division is
implementing an
"Assessment of
Opportunities" pro¬
gram to help
employees reach
their full potential.
And Jill Fahrenholtz (2172) has formed the San¬
dia Women's Inreach Network, a group of more
than 200 members that sponsors inreach activi¬
ties to encourage women of all job classifica¬
tions to realize their professional potential.

'Successful first steps'

Anthony Thornton, Director of Diversity
Leadership and Education Outreach Center 3600,
points to a recent Department of Labor (DOL)
audit in which Sandia was complimented for
both its equal opportunity/affirmative action pro-

The Human Resources Large Staff con¬
ference held every spring is usually a well-
attended, informative meeting of upper
managers. This year, however, the confer¬
ence offered a little something extra.

The theme was diversity and how to
create high-performing inclusive organiza¬
tions. To prepare participants for the expe¬
rience, Diversity Champions and division
diversity councils worked with managers
ahead of time to prepare them for what to
expect.

But no one expected the conference to
be as successful at its task — getting man¬
agers to look at diversity as a real issue in
today's workplace — as it was.

"The conference was eye-opening for a
lot of Sandians," Berweida says. "Because it
was experiential, people got to relate on a

grams and its diversity programs as a sign that the
Labs is moving in the right direction. "The DOL
audit confirmed that we're on the right track, but
we've still got some work to do," he says.

Anthony says this year's participation in
two executive forums on diversity, in which
local companies come together to work on
common issues, reflects Sandia's efforts in part¬
nering with the community and DOE on diver¬
sity (Lab News, June 23).

"It's amazing to see how important the
issue of diversity is to both large corporations
and small businesses throughout Albu¬
querque," says Executive VP Jim Tegnelia,
sponsor of the quarterly executive forums.
"These executives see the importance of valu¬
ing the people in their workforces and ensuring
high-performing, satisfied employees as bot¬
tom-line business issues."

Another way of making Sandians more
aware of diversity issues is the Diversity Cham¬
pions Program. The Diversity Champions are a
cadre of Sandians from across the Labs, includ¬
ing upper management and employees from all
levels, who have attained a working under¬
standing of diversity and pass their knowledge
on to other employees. More than 300 champi¬
ons, whose training ended in the spring, are
initiating a variety of diversity efforts within
their organizations.

"We know that changing attitudes must
begin at a grass-roots level, by talking and relat¬
ing to one another, " Anthony says. "I think of
the champions as a wave, spreading through¬
out the Labs and disseminating information
that helps employees understand how diversity
impacts our work."

While he acknowledges that it's difficult to
measure productivity in an R&D environment,
Anthony says, "It's obvious that employees who
feel valued will have high morale and be more
satisfied and productive. We want people who
work here to know they're valued and necessary.
We see diversity as a business imperative."

The ultimate goal of Sandia's Corporate
Diversity initiative, he says, is to ensure that all
employees feel that they are working to their
fullest potential and are making significant
contributions.

"All of us at Sandia make up the diversity
of the Labs, regardless of the differences we
bring to the workplace," Anthony says. "Diver¬
sity is about creating work environments of
trust, teamwork, and high productivity even in
the midst of change and uncertainty."

deep human level. We found that, yes, there
is pain and fear in this workplace, and there
is work to be done around this issue."

Managers and champions split up into
groups. They discussed what diversity is and
how it is working, or not working, at Sandia.
At the conclusion of the conference, partici¬
pants met in division groups and discussed
goals and strategies for change.

"The conference was a major break¬
through," Berweida says. "We really got into
the personal side of the issue, and people
interacted on a level they never had before.
It got our message across even better than
we anticipated. Managers were able to see
that they can consistently get the most and
the best from their people by learning how
to capitalize on their differences rather than
forcing everyone to conform to one style."

CHAMPIONS — The Systems Applications Division 9000 Diversity Council dis¬
cusses a division action plan during a Diversity Champions retreat. Clockwise

(9000), Rita Gonzales (9212), Adele Caldwell (9000), Mike Selph (9311), Kay

"Assessment of Opportunities" program that will be offered to other divisions as
part of the Labs-wide diversity effort. The program is designed to help employees
find out how they can live up to their full potential.

Resident HR liaisons get 'thumbs up' during trial period

Customer service manager program to include more organizations

A trial arrangement aimed at testing a new
"decentralized" approach to providing Human
Resources (HR) services has resulted in a
"thumbs up" from management in two organi¬
zations that piloted the program.

In January, two HR managers — Julian
Sanchez and B.J. Jones (both 3000) — packed
up their desks and waved good-bye to their col¬
leagues in Human Resources Div. 3000. Their
new assignments: The VPs' offices of Compo¬
nent Development & Engineering Support Div.
2000 and Energy & Environment Div. 6000,
respectively. (Julian also covered the new Pro¬
duction Div. 14000 on an on-call basis.)

Their primary goals as resident "customer
service managers," or CSMs, as they're called,
were to provide customized human resources
services to their assigned organizations and to
help line managers make sound HR-related
business decisions.

This new decentralized approach to HR —
which grew out of an August 1994 "Red Team"
assessment of Sandia's HR program (Lab News,
Oct. 14,1994) — was intended to improve the
HR program's responsiveness to its customers.

"Introducing the CSMs was a major philo¬
sophical shift from Sandia's past approach to
providing HR services," says Charlie Emery, VP
of Human Resources Div. 3000. "Deployment
of the CSMs is in direct response to our cus¬
tomers' feedback that HR needs to strengthen
its linkage and improve its responsiveness to
the line."

Successful six months

The trial period lasted six months, from
January through June, during which B.J. and
Julian worked directly with managers in their
"home organizations," anticipating staffing
needs, optimizing job placements, solving
sticky performance and compensation issues,
helping establish new organizations, etc.

"I took a systematic approach, understand¬
ing what the organization wanted, and asking
myself what are the HR pieces of that puzzle
that 1 can help with," says B.J.

She says the new Moly-99 program in par¬
ticular provided an opportunity for her to help
Div. 6000 meet its long-term staffing needs.

"We were able to develop target staffing
requirements and put staffing specialists on the
program development team," she says. (The
Moly-99 program, which will use Sandia's
Annular Core Research Reactor to produce
medical isotopes, was recently transferred pro¬
grammatically to Div. 14000.)

Julian says his role was to support the host
organization by raising and examining strate¬
gic HR issues while also handling more con¬
crete, tactical problems. "People look to me
for quick responses and for help in solving
more complex, long-term issues," he says. "If

Survey responders give
CSMs high marks

Shirley Wallace (10605), Human
Resources reengineering program man¬
ager, says survey responses showed that
the resident customer service managers:

• added value to the organizations they
supported;

• for many VPs and directors, saved a
minimum of one to two hours per
week, which could be redirected to
mission-related work;

• were significantly more accessible,
responsive, and accurate in dealing
with HR issues than previous HR con¬
tacts; and

• provided strategic support regarding
a wide range of HR issues.

you're truly customer oriented, you've got to
provide both."

Near the end of the trial period in June,
Statistics and Human Factors Dept. 12323 sur¬
veyed customers in the three divisions to see
what they thought of the CSMs' services as
compared with "centralized" services rendered
previously through the HR Center.

"The survey responses were very positive
and provided 'proof of concept' for the new
approach," says HR reengineering program
manager Shirley Wallace (10605). (See "Survey
responders give CSMs high marks" above.)
Host-organization VPs and directors also
approved the new approach.

Additional CSMs on the way

As a result of this positive feedback from
the pilot organizations, the project has been
declared successful and will be expanded to
more organizations slightly ahead of the origi¬
nal Oct. 1 schedule, Shirley says.

Ruth David named
CIA deputy director

Ruth David, Director of Sandia's Strategic
Thrust in Advanced Information Technologies
(Org. 1090), has been named Deputy Director
for Science and
Technology
(DDS&T) of the
Central Intelligence
Agency.

Her appoint¬
ment, to begin in
September, was
announced July 31
by CIA Director
John Deutch. Ruth
will take a two-year
leave from Sandia under provisions of the
Intergovernmental Personnel Act to replace the
current DDS&T Jim Hirsch, who is retiring.

Ruth joined Sandia in June 1975 after earn¬
ing her BS in electrical engineering from
Wichita State University. She earned her mas¬
ter's and doctoral degrees at Stanford Univer¬
sity. Her technical experience has included dig¬
ital and microprocessor-based system design,
digital signal analysis, adaptive signal analysis,
and system integration.

Deutch also named three other deputy
directors, all CIA veterans: David Cohen, Oper¬
ations; John Gannon, Intelligence; and Leo
Hazlewood, Administration.

During August and September, two addi¬
tional CSMs will be placed in line organizations
— one in Laboratories Services Div. 7000 and
one to support a combined group of adminis¬
trative organizations including Human
Resources Div. 3000, Laboratory Development
Div. 4000, Business Management & Chief
Financial Officer Div. 10000, Legal Div. 11000,
and the offices of the Sandia Director and
Deputy Director.

The eventual goal is to deploy one CSM to
approximately every 1,500 employees. Each
CSM will be supported by a small staff of HR
specialists.

"We are assigning some of our best-quali¬
fied people to these positions," says Charlie.

He adds that the pilot project would not
have been successful without the cooperation
and support of VPs Heinz Schmitt (2000) and
Dan Hartley (6000).

Dan says Div. 6000 was fortunate to have
someone of B.J.'s experience working directly
within the organization's ranks. "Doing busi¬
ness in a totally new way has required a lot of
initiative and creativity on her part," he says. "I
believe the CSM approach is creating a real
opportunity to deal with HR issues strategically
and rapidly, and with specific line business
needs in mind." — John German

Sandia athletes help Lockheed Martin team to a
fourth-place finish in national corporate championship

TRACK-AND-FrELD competitors Mary Walker (1511) and Peter Green (1845),
along with seven other Sandia athletes, represented Sandia on the Lockheed
Martin track-and-field team at the United States Corporate Athletics Associa¬
tion's national championship.The Sandia Laboratories Running and Fitness Club,
which organized the selection of the Sandia participants, urges Sandians to
compete next spring in a Division Challenge, a newly formed event to promote
friendly track-and-field competition among employees. A "traveling trophy" will
move to the winning division each year. (Photo by Randy Montoya)

Lockheed Martin's track-and-field team,
which this year included nine Sandia athletes,
took fourth place at the United States Corpo¬
rate Athletics Association's (USCAA) National
Track-and-Field Championships July 8-9 in Des
Moines, Iowa. General Electric won the compe¬
tition; Exxon placed second and AT&T third.

Sandia participants included: Roger
Assink (1812), Richard Cernosek (1315), Mica
Comstock (7576), Peter Green (1845), Jim Reitz
(8417-1), Larry Ruggles (1273), Frances Stohl
(6212), Tammy Ulibarri (1811), and Mary
Walker (1511).

The Sandia competitors — close to 20 per¬
cent of the Lockheed Martin team — were
organized by the Sandia Laboratories Running
and Fitness Club (SLRFC). Peter Green, Man¬
ager of the Glass & Electronic Ceramics Depart¬
ment and the association's president, says the
purpose of the national competition is to give
the best athletes from US corporations the
opportunity to compete.

Thirteen major US corporations sent athletes
to a division of the National Track-and-Field
Championships set up just for athletes from
major corporations. A second division was estab¬
lished for competitors from smaller corporations.

In the national championships, all compe¬
titions were scored as team events and included
5K and 10K road races, 13 relay events, team
high-jump and long-jump events, and shot put
and discus competitions. The Lockheed Martin
team won 11 medals.

Sandia has participated in the USCAA
National Track-and-Field Championships

since 1987.

Each year, out¬
standing Sandia ath¬
letes, judged by
their performances
in local and regional
events, are selected
to perform at the
national competi¬
tion. These events
include a Corporate
Challenge Road
Race and Track-and-
Field competition in
the late spring and a
Southwest Regional
Corporate Chal¬
lenge Cross Country
Competition each
October.

Debuting this
year was a Division
Challenge, orga¬
nized by SLRFC to
promote friendly
competition among
Sandians. Peter,

Larry Walker (9204),
and Tammy Ulibarri
organized the challenge held May 13. "About
100 Sandians, representing virtually all divi¬
sions, participated," says Peter. Research &
Exploratory Technology Division 1000 was this
year's winner and received a "traveling tro¬
phy," which will move to the winning division

each year. Systems Applications Division 9000
took second place.

Anyone interested in participating in next
year's competitions can call Peter Green on
845-8929 or Tammy Ulibarri on 844-5279.

Rob Leland appointed 1995-96 White House Fellow

Rob Leland of Parallel Computing Science
Dept. 1424 learned recently that he's one of 14
people selected nationwide from about 1,000
applicants to become a 1995-96 White House
Fellow. Rob says his appointment is "a tremen¬
dous opportunity to learn about government
and possibly contribute to it."

White House Fellows, appointed by Presi¬
dent Clinton, are selected to serve full-time for
one year in Washington, D.C. Each fellow is
paired with either a senior White House official
or a Cabinet-level or other agency head.

In July, Rob was interviewed by top offi¬
cials from DOE, DoD, Interior Department,
Transportation Department, and Vice President
Gore's office. Rob also met with John Deutch,
newly appointed CIA director, and Lawrence
Summers, currently involved in confirmation
hearings to become Deputy Secretary of the
Treasury Department. Rob doesn't yet know
with whom he will be working.

Rob's assignments could include writing
speeches, proposing legislation, coordinating
government policy, chairing meetings, and car¬
rying out special assignments. He and the other
White House Fellows will attend two lun¬
cheons each week to informally discuss topics
with members of Congress, Supreme Court jus¬
tices, Cabinet officials, top journalists, and
CEOs of major corporations.

The President's Commission on White
House Fellowships Award is based on the appli¬
cants' academic, professional, and civic
achievements. Rob received his PhD from
Oxford University, which he attended as a
Rhodes Scholar. He is a Senior Member of
Technical Staff at Sandia, where he helped
develop Chaco, an advanced research software
package used to optimize parallel computa¬

tions, sequence DNA, organize databases, lay
out very large scale integration (VLSI) chips for
integrated circuit manufacturing, and optimize
sparse matrix computations. Chaco has

ROB LELAND (1424), selected for a one-year
assignment as a White House Fellow, says, "Science
is one of the great forces in the modern world, yet
scientists are relatively uninvolved in government."
Rob hopes he can help change this situation while
working in Washington and that his fellowship
assignment, beginning Sept. 1, will provide him
with "the means to make a real difference." The
White House Fellow award is based on academic,
professional, and civic achievement.

become a standard of reference and has been
licensed for use at more than 100 research sites
worldwide.

Rob's civic activities include volunteering
as a math, science, and computing instructor
for students and teachers in the Albuquerque
Public School system; coaching and organizing
for the New Mexico Supercomputing Chal¬
lenge, a statewide high school education pro¬
gram; coaching Adventures in Supercomput¬
ing, a high school education program
established throughout New Mexico targeting
minority and female students; representing the
University of New Mexico Ballroom Dance
Team in national swing dancing competitions;
performing as a violinist in the Albuquerque
Philharmonic & Mariachi Alma; and acting for
the Albuquerque Civic Light Opera.

The associate director of the White House
Fellows program, John Shiftman, says of Rob,
"He's a brilliant man. We're very excited to
have him as part of the White House Fellows
Program."

President Clinton commented on the
White House Fellows program at a recent White
House ceremony honoring the program's 30th
anniversary: "One reason the White House Fel¬

Space Campers to operate Sandia-developed robotic lunar rover

Space campers at US Space Camp at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida are getting hands-on
experience this summer operating Sandia's Robotic All-Terrain Lunar Exploration Rover (RATLER),
designed by engineers Jim Purvis (9204) and Kent Biringer (9241). The remotely operated lunar rover
vehicle is being tested on the Space Camp's simulated Martian landscape. Jim and engineer Dave
Hayward (9616) donated their expertise and time to create a special Space Camp version of RATLER.
Space Camp officials have requested two more RATLERs for next year; Jim and Dave are designing
the next-generation RATLER to allow students to program the vehicle as they would on a real plane¬
tary exploration mission.

Wendell Weart, 'sultan of salt,' receives commendation from Hazel O'Leary

Wendell Weart, of Energy & Environment Division 6000, has received a letter of commendation
from Energy Secretary Hazel O'Leary, congratulating him for more than 20 years of exemplary service
in the nuclear waste management program. Wendell had been serving as Manager of Sandia's Waste
Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) and was recently appointed Senior Adviser to WIPP; everyone familiar

SI Feedback

Q: Some time ago I had an appointment at
TLC and decided to drive my car. I spent 20 min¬
utes driving around its parking lot and the one at
Personnel trying to find a parking space. I ended up
parking southwest of Bldg. 800 and was late for my
appointment. Since TLC and EAP provide a valu¬
able service to employees, and therefore to the Labs,
why can’t they have reserved client parking for
those whose work sites are too far away to walk?

Maybe more employees would utilize these services
if they were more easily accessed.

A: Thank you for your interest in partici¬
pating in the TLC (Total Life Concept) Pro¬
gram. We sincerely regret the inconvenience
you encountered. Even with the recent addi¬
tion of two one-hour parking slots in front of
the TLC and EAP (Employee Assistance Pro¬
gram) mobile offices, frustration in not being
able to find a parking space — like that you
expressed — is one commonly expressed by
our customers. Actually, we would love to have
more reserved parking slots, but, unfortu¬
nately, parking is at a premium at Sandia and
parking slots are not under our direct control.
We will continue to push for more parking
slots, as we have in the past.

Meanwhile, however, TLC is partially
addressing this issue by taking classes out to
different areas and to organizations that
request them. In addition, we perform blood
pressure and cholesterol screenings around
Sandia. We are continually striving to increase
access to our services through innovative
means. Again, thank you for your concern
about the parking for TLC and EAP customers,
and we appreciate your persistence.

AREA 5 CONSTRUCTION — There's even more major new construction going on at Sandia than we were
able to include in our photo feature in the July 21 Lab News. The new Technology Support Center in Area 5
includes a two-story office and light lab building and a single-story building housing the Gamma Irradiation
Facility (GIF). The GIF will house three test cells, an 18-foot-deep pool, offices, and assembly labs. Occupancy
of the 107,000-square-foot facility has already begun, and the entire $16 million project is scheduled to be
completed by September 1996.
